45: Coming back to reality!

The scene outside was already apocalyptic.

The sky was obscured by thick volcanic ash, the earth groaned and fractured, and the sea surged, raising monstrous waves!

Countless disturbed sea monsters, like dumplings, emerged from the churning waters, frantically attacking everything on the island!

"Boss! Over here!"

Noahs Ark, piloted by Zhao Tielin, had already rushed to the shore.

Su Mo, with the three women, leaped and landed steadily on the deck.

"Full speed ahead! Our goal is to break out of this damned sea area!"

Su Mo stood at the bow, holding his legendary battle blade, full of spirit!

"Roar—!"

Just then, a giant sea snake, over a hundred meters long, broke through the water, opened its gaping maw, and lunged at Noahs Ark!

"Excellent!"

Su Mo was not surprised but delighted, "Perfect, I'll test my new blade and new Haki on you!"

He took a deep breath, and the abyssal dragons judgement in his hand was covered by an invisible, flowing layer of Haki.

He didn't need to get close to the sea snake.

He merely faced it, from nearly a hundred meters away, and casually swung forward!

"Abyssal Slash!"

"Whoosh—!"

A crescent-shaped slash, invisible to the naked eye, yet seemingly capable of tearing space, instantly cut through the water and flashed past!

The next second.

The giant sea snake's movements abruptly ceased.

A line of blood stretched from its head all the way to its tail.

Immediately after, its massive body was split perfectly in half down the middle!

The putrid blood stained the entire sea area!

"..."

On the ship, whether it was Shen Yufu, Samantha, or Zhao Tielin, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and the other crew members, everyone was petrified.

From a hundred meters away, one slash, instantly killing a terrifying sea monster that looked at least elite-grade?!

Was Boss Su Mo, using a cheat? That's terrifying!

"Su Mo, my husband... so handsome!"

Only Luo Xiaorou, cupping her small face, looked at Su Mo's back with infatuation, her eyes full of adoring stars.

Under the deterrence of Su Mo's god-like slash, no other blind monster dared to provoke Noahs Ark.

The Ark rode the wind and waves, rushing out of the core area of the collapsing island... Night had fully fallen, and less than two hours remained until the end of the survival challenge.

On the deck of Noahs Ark, the lights were bright, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

"Come on! Sisters! One more!"

Zhao Tielin was beaming, holding a can of iced beer, her tongue slightly slurred, "These seven days... we survived! Following Boss Su Mo, we f*cking survived!"

"Oh—!"

"Cheers! To Boss Su Mo! To us surviving!"

"Hahaha! These seven days were like a dream! I've never been this excited in my life!"

The twelve crew members erupted in thunderous cheers, gathered around the bonfire, eating meat and drinking heavily, their faces filled with the euphoria of surviving a disaster.

At the same time, the once bustling world channel, which had millions of people, now seemed incredibly deserted, with fewer than two thousand online.

"Wuwuwu... It's finally ending! Brothers! I'm still alive! I'm still alive!"

"Damn it! Seven days! Do you know how I spent these seven days?! I ate tree bark and drank rainwater every day, losing over thirty pounds! When I get back, I'm definitely going to have an all-meat feast!"

"One thousand eight hundred and seventy-three people... From over a million at the start, to now, less than two thousand remain... The death rate is terrifying."

"Stop being sentimental! Look at the leaderboard! Boss Su Mo's level has already reached LV15! My god! Is he a god?!"

"Does that even need to be said? Didn't you see the global announcement? First global kill of a Lord-level BOSS! Who else has such a record?!"

"The second place is also amazing! National Goddess Shen Yufu, LV12! High-level talents are truly something! Who would dare call our Yu Fu a pretty face now?"

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that among the top ten on the leaderboard, besides Boss Su Mo, and two goddesses, almost all the rest are leaders of major alliances! Scarlet Rose's Rose, LV11, is ranked fifth!"

Inside the cabin, Su Mo was sitting with his legs crossed, enjoying the feeding service from Samantha and Luo Xiaorou, one on each side, while browsing the praises on the world channel, feeling incredibly comfortable.

"Hehe, Su Mo, my husband, you're a global idol now!" Luo Xiaorou cupped her face, her eyes full of little stars.

Samantha proudly puffed out her chest: "Of course, look whose man he is!"

Shen Yufu's pretty face flushed slightly as she read the comments pairing her with Su Mo, but her heart felt sweet, and she couldn't help but secretly glance at Su Mo.

Just then, Su Mo's attention was drawn to a discussion about "Scarlet Rose."

"Speaking of which, Scarlet Rose's leader, Rose, is truly a mysterious woman, and the only one who can lead a pure all-female alliance into the top five of the alliance rankings!"

"Rose..."

When Su Mo saw this name, he remembered that he seemed to have been neglecting this woman.

He opened his friends list, and sure enough, the friend request from "Scarlet Rose - Rose" was still lying there alone, six days had passed.

He casually clicked 'Accept'.

At the same time, next to a Level 4 island several hundred kilometers away from the Level 5 Resource Island.

Four Level 7 large ships, twenty meters long and wide, were quietly docked by the shore.

The deck of one of the ships was crowded with dozens of female players of various body types, but equally beautiful, wearing only cool tank tops and shorts.

Their fair, long legs were dazzling, and the air was filled with the sweat of young girls and the fragrance of post-bath, creating a very alluring scene.

They were excitedly counting the spoils from the second elite monster they had just killed on the Level 4 island.

And on the captain's cabin's observation deck, a fiery red figure sat facing the wind.

She was tall, clad in a crimson tight leather armor that accentuated her provocative curves, making them even more defined, as if they were about to burst free.

Her two legs were long and straight, dazzlingly white, enough to make anyone lose their mind just by looking.

It was none other than the leader of Scarlet Rose—Rose!

"Ding! Player 'Su Mo' has accepted your friend request!"

A sudden notification made Rose's narrow, phoenix-like eyes slightly narrow.

Six days.

This man had finally remembered her?
